That's a ferocious looking gadget on her arm.

It's a cutter suction head. She started dredging and the spoil came out of the pipe at the top rear of the excavator cab.

So if she's not working over the bow, the muck shoots back over the side

Good to see her still earning her keep at 52 years old. Not much short of when I stopped earning my keep

Just learned she dredges sand to take up to Weston Point.
